How to turn the tables?
To respond to all those fables,
If we could make men love us,
Like we love them, less fuss,
But that's the way they are, no less,
Not much sapience for men, I guess........

It was a personal quest,
Found some faith, no less,
Like Uriel and Baptist John,
As on the divine I pondered on,
Yes, modest conversion spiritual,
I got 'de-light', so mystical,
As I write a verse, lyrical..........

Life is a journey in the desert under the blazon sun
So one is in a dire need of water and a companion
Hurdles after hurdles if encountered, can go for fun
It is full of turn after turn, coincidentally, no return

A life partner is must in every situation and in  event
Which imbibe struggle to continue and what meant
To all vows and dissatisfaction we have to give vent
What I carry in my heart please do not ask my intent

Love takes care and beauty nourishes one to embrace
Be hand in hand with charming beloved be face to face
I am enthralled by your charms and style and grace
Let's go together in love from pace to pace,place to place

For once
I put my heart on hold
and it failed
to stop beating

For once
I detached it
from my body
and it failed
to stop feeling

For once
I scolded it
for feeling so much
and it failed
to stop giving

For once
I told it
to take a break
and it failed
to listen

For once
I ignored it
and it failed
at keeping me
at peace

I am becoming so sickeningly
happy, and now all I ever want to
do is dance to the music that your words
sing to me.

Before you turn,
think twice,
feel thrice,
for there's no come back
from that.

No more handshakes,
no white flags,
no Sunday prayers,
children smiles.

Before you do,
think twice,
feel thrice,
for there's no come back
from that.

No man can turn back
the hands of time.
No god can.

No smile can turn back
the tears once run.
Nothing can cure
once broken heart.
Like chalk it breaks,
for life.

Before you turn,
press your right hand
to chest - left side,
and hear the beat.

The perfect sound.

in 12 hours exactly
life will take a new turn

i hope it's finally
towards happiness
